# Chapter 303: Resolution
In the alchemy room, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance soared into the sky. Above the furnace, clouds of vapor swirled as the aroma spread outward.
From within the massive cauldron, the sound of pills rolling could be heard continuously. In this single batch, no one knew how many pills there were.
"Formation!" A low shout escaped Lin Feng's mouth. Countuous beams of light shot directly into the void. With a booming explosion, the repaired roof of the alchemy room blasted open once again, torn apart by that surging current of energy.
The sound of pellets rolling rose and fell in succession. Chi Lao withdrew his flames, his gaze falling on Lin Feng, a wry smile appearing in his eyes.
This guy... he was simply a freak.
It wasn't just Chi Lao; Huo Lao also stared blankly at Lin Feng. Lin Feng, with his cultivation at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, could actually refine nearly a thousand mid-grade spirit pills simultaneously.
In the early stages of alchemy, Lin Feng had been following their steps, using his soul power as a medium to observe and learn, listening to their guidance. But as the alchemy progressed, later on, Lin Feng was already able to refine pills on his own. By now, Lin Feng's speed in refining mid-grade pills had surpassed theirs.
Now, the only thing Lin Feng lacked was flame. He still needed to borrow Chi Lao's fire to refine pills.
If Lin Feng could control his own flame power, alchemy would come even more naturally to him, his speed would be faster, and the quality of the pills he produced would be better.
"The realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, combined with powerful soul strength—his talent is truly monstrous." Chi Lao and Huo Lao clicked their tongues in amazement. The only thing hindering Lin Feng's achievements in alchemy was flame.
Once Lin Feng's cultivation reached the Mysterious Martial Realm, even if he didn't have a fire-attribute constitution, he could condense true essence fire for use in alchemy.
However, this true essence fire would certainly not be as powerful as the true essence fire of someone with a fire-attribute constitution like Huo Lao.
Lin Feng opened his eyes, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face. He stored this final batch of refined pills into his Storage Ring.
One hundred and twenty thousand pills had all been refined. As long as he returned to Yangzhou City, he could cause the overall strength of that tens-of-thousands-strong army to skyrocket, raising everyone's cultivation by an entire realm. This kind of enhancement was extremely terrifying.
Just imagine—what a huge gap there would be between a hundred people at the Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm and a hundred people at the Sixth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm. The latter could slaughter the former with a single attack.
His pills could elevate thirty thousand people from the Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm to the Sixth Layer. This would absolutely drive many people crazy.
Of course, the prerequisite for Lin Feng to accomplish this was that he had encountered two powerful alchemists. In the Snow Moon Kingdom, strong individuals above the Third Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm were already scarce, and those who were also alchemists were even rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
"Elder Huo, Elder Chi, thank you both." Lin Feng nodded to the two elders, his gaze sincere. Ninety thousand mid-grade spirit pills and thirty thousand high-grade spirit pills—this was too precious. If it were someone else, even if they had this alchemy ability, they wouldn't help him refine them. Such a terrifying number of pills could be exchanged for who knew how many Origin Stones.
Moreover, during the refining process, Huo Lao and Chi Lao had also taught him alchemy, sharing their alchemy insights with him. This was extremely rare.
Alchemy experience and insights were priceless treasures for an alchemist.
Huo Lao shook his head, smiling bitterly. "Lin Feng, as long as you can control a flame, although the quality of the pills you refine won't be as high, in terms of speed and the quantity you can refine in one batch, you surpass us two old men. I'm ashamed."
Lin Feng's alchemy skill was formidable—they had never seen anything like it. Moreover, his soul power was very unique, as if he could focus on a hundred things at once, with extremely strong control. Even though his soul power was far inferior to theirs now, when it came to fine control, they admitted they were no match for Lin Feng.
For example, their soul power could control the refining of a hundred pills, but during the process, there would always be a few that deviated, unable to be completely synchronized.
But this never happened with Lin Feng. When he refined, he could keep hundreds or even thousands of pills perfectly in the same step. His precision of control left them inwardly shaken.
They could almost guess that Lin Feng controlled a powerful soul-refining method.
"That's also because the two elders taught me." Lin Feng said modestly.
"Alright, you two, stop flattering each other. The road we have to travel is still long. At least for now, no one can refine that Luo Shen Pill."
Chi Lao interrupted Huo Lao and Lin Feng, giving them a reminder. Indeed, they still had a long way to go. The Luo Shen Pill—even the three of them working together were far from being able to refine it.
"We've been cooped up here refining pills all this time without going out to move around. I wonder what's been happening outside recently."
Chi Lao muttered softly. Then, the three of them walked out of the alchemy room together and arrived at the main hall of the residence.
At this moment, a figure flickered in from the distance. Seeing Lin Feng, his eyes moved slightly. Lin Feng had finally come out of the alchemy room. During this time, Tianluo Ancient City was about to turn upside down, but Lin Feng, Huo Lao, and Chi Lao, who had been completely immersed in alchemy, were still completely unaware.
"Ba Dao, you came at just the right time."
Seeing Ba Dao approach, Lin Feng called out.
"How are things outside?"
Ba Dao paused for a moment, then described it with four words: "Stirring winds and surging clouds."
"Right now, many powerful individuals have appeared in Tianluo Ancient City. Some belong to the major powers of the Snow Moon Kingdom, while others have never been heard of before—so strong they're shocking to hear about. Among them, two factions are the most prominent."
"Which two factions?" Lin Feng asked.
"One faction you've seen—the people of Dream Pavilion. Dream Pavilion seems to be just a branch of this faction. That Mysterious Martial Realm Third Layer owner of Dream Pavilion was merely the person in charge in Tianluo Ancient City."
Lin Feng's eyes trembled. A branch? The powerful Dream Pavilion was actually just a branch force.
Lin Feng suddenly remembered what Lan Jiao had said to him that night. She belonged to a very powerful force. At the time, he hadn't paid it much attention, but now it seemed Lan Jiao hadn't been lying to him.
"And the other faction?"
"The other faction is very sinister. They don't ride mounts; instead, they lie in coffins, using the coffins as their means of travel. But their strength is extremely formidable. Moreover, their cultivation technique is similar to Mo Canglan's—they can devour people's Yuan Qi and essence blood. They should be the same kind of people as Mo Canglan. In Tianluo Ancient City, many people have been sucked dry by them into desiccated corpses, causing panic among the people in Tianluo Ancient City." Ba Dao continued.
"They're together with Mo Canglan!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He felt somewhat troubled. One faction was together with that beautiful woman, and the other faction was together with Mo Canglan. Both had deep enmity with him.
If these two mysterious factions wanted to deal with him, it would be troublesome.
"Besides these two mysterious factions, many strong individuals from the Snow Moon Kingdom itself have also descended. For example, the Falling Xia Sect has come out in full force—Sect Leader Gu Chunqiu has personally come. Additionally, the Hao Yue Sect, the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Yu Family, and even the Imperial Family have all arrived. The entire Tianluo Ancient City is filled with powerful individuals everywhere."
"This Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron has stirred up quite a commotion. It seems that while we were refining pills, the outside world has fallen into chaos." Chi Lao said indifferently. An ancient treasure—who wouldn't want to fight for it?
"Mm. For the sake of the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron, many conflicts have occurred in Tianluo Ancient City. Many powerful individuals have fallen. In three days, they plan to make a resolution." Ba Dao said.
"A resolution? How will they resolve it?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.
"No one knows who initiated it, but word spread through Tianluo Ancient City. In three days, all factions will gather outside the city gates of Tianluo Ancient City to decide the ownership of the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron. This proposal received a response from the vast majority of people."
"How could the people who obtained the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron agree?" Lin Feng asked.
"They have no choice. The person who spread the word is very well-informed. They know that the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron has fallen into the hands of that group of people lying in coffins. If they don't show up tomorrow, everyone in Tianluo Ancient City will unite to annihilate them first, then settle the matter. Everyone in Tianluo Ancient City agrees, so those people have no choice."
"The person who devised this plan is very clever!"
Lin Feng thought to himself. Those who hadn't obtained the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Cauldron would naturally agree. Before, everyone had their own hidden agendas, and no one thought about uniting together. But this person who spread the word thought of it, using such a simple yet profound strategy, seeing through human nature very clearly.
